The Largest warsh1p Anoat.

On September Goth, in the presence of
all the Lords of the Admiralty and an
immense concourse of people, soon after
noon, warship of exceptionally power
full type was launched at Portsmouth,
England, to be added to the royal navy
as the Trafalgar. She viii be larger and
considerably more formidable than any
other British ironclad at present afloat
Although some huge Italian warships
exceed her in tonnage displacement and
in heavy gun power not one of them is
SO well protected as the Trafalgar will be
when finished.
She will displace IL $40 tons OF water
and will have cost not far short of $780,
600 (about $4,000, 000). As she lies this
morning she has cost less than 9800, 900,
and only $500 tons of steel and iron have
been worked into her massive hull. She

"who wishes all his companions to I'M
dergo the same amputation as himself,
and states that the abolition of premiums
all over Europe would give the German
industry superiority greater than it now
possesses" The attention of Germany
is thus divided for the probable result OF
the change as regards the competition OF
colonial sugar The view taken is that
the manufacturers of beet sugar would
be unfavorably affected, while that OF
cane sugar would be materially improved.
In the meantime the British Sugar Re-
fners' Committee are making unjust ap-
peaIs to the Government for relief, urging
that the principle of a duty to countervail
a bounty should be admitted by Her
Majesty's Government as necessary to
the maintenance of free trade, and as
the only way in which the permanent
interests of the consumer can be Sc

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on
SUGAR B0UNTIES.

The proposal of the English Govern
ment to hold an international Confer
ence on sugar bounties is naturally
exciting considerable discussion in inter
ested circles, especially in France and
Germany. At present, judging from the
tone of the leading French journals, the
probability that the manufacturers of
that country will agree to the said con-
vention, looking toward the abolition of
premiums is rather remote at present
Their Chambre Syndicate has also adj
dressed protest to the President of the
Council, in which the fervept hope is
expressed that the French Government
will refuse its assent to the conference.
The chief reason assigned for the Objec-
ton is that the suppression of premiums
will inevitably and irrevocably bring
with it the extinction of the sugar Guilt
walton and industry in the country. The
real truth of the opposition, however,
seems to be based on the belief that the
sugar industry in France is absolutely
unable to contend against Germany.
The latter country can produce sugar
under economical conditions impossible
to realize in France. The Germans, on
the other hand, are more moderate in
their views, and the only cause of anx-
iety which appears is as to the future COM
petition of cane sugar. The 60 Deutsche
Fucker Industrie," which has been en-
deavoring to contribute to the solution of
the question how the abolition of prem
iums can best be brought, has published
an estimate showing that according to
data, the accuracy of which is unques-
tionable, the five largest sugar-growing
countries of Europe-viz., Germany,
Austria, France, Belgium and Holland
could, without suffering any loss to the
treasury. reduce very considerably the
rate of taxation on sugar, and thus effect
an eventual unifcation of duties, without
which it would be difficult to establish
practical and lasting International Con-
vention. The German view chiefly tends
toward an endeavor to produce sugar at
as low cost as possible The French,
on the other hand, are more concerned
about the reduction of taxes in presence
of great financial necessities, and be-
grudge the giving up of any part what
ever of their splendid revenue from this
source.

ton is the operating mechanism.

is 345 feet long and 70 feet broad. Her
coal stowage is 900 tons in fore and aft
bunkers. Her armament is to consist OF
four Is 15-inch 67-ton breechloading guns,
eight 5-inch breechloading guns, six So
FOUNDER quick-fring guns, eight 6-pound-
er and eleven 3-pounder Hotchkiss quick
firing guns, machine, boat and field guns
and twenty-four Whitehead torpedoes.
The turret guns will fire projectiles
weighing 1880 pounds, with a powder
charge of $50 pounds, and will train
through an angle of 270 degrees. The
eight 5-inch guns will be mounted on the
upper deck between the turrets, and will
be protected on the sides of the ship from
rife fire by two thicknesses of half-inch
plating, and at each end of the battery
by armored bulkheads one inch thick,
fitted upon six inches of backing and an
inner skin. These guns will train through
sixty degrees on each side of the beam.
The eight 6-pounder Hotchkiss guns will
fire from the spar deck, but the 3-pounder
guns will be distributed between the
spar deck, the bridge, the stern ports and
the military tops.
There are eight torpedo tubes, four
above and four below the water line, the
latter being fixed tubes. The above
water tubes are projected from machine
gun fire by Pinch plating.
The vessel will be fitted with twin
screws, each driven by an independent
set of triple expansion engines, with
three vertical cylinders of a collective
power of six thousand horses for each
set. The weight OF this machinery is to
be about one thousand and thirty tons
The crank and propeller shafting are
hollow and are made of compressed
steel. The diameter of the screw pro-
pellers will be about sixteen feet.
Another turret ship, exactly like her
and of her dimensions, is building at
Pembroke, to be called the Nile. The
GO Daily News" commenting on the event,
says: 1t is not improbable that these two
monsters will be the last of our very big
ironclads. No others of first-class size
have during the past two years been laid
down, and among naval constructors the
conviction is now rapidly gaining ground
that, for practical purposes, vessels of
moderate tonnage-always provided they
are OF great speed-will be found more
useful than leviathans. Our present ig-
norance of the realities of modern naval
warfare run us into dangerous risks by
investing, in the construction of single
ironclads, sums which otherwise dis
bursed would provide whole flotilla of
fast cruisers, armored gunboats and swift
torpedo vessels.

Didn't Want To Be vaccinated.

When the vaccination inspector was
making his rounds on train from Mon
treal to Toronto, he accosted a gentleman
in the Pullman car with the usual ques-
ton: Have you been Vaccinated?" The
gentleman. who had very convincing evil
dence of three weeks development of
the operation on one of his arms, offered
to let the inspector feel the sore places
through his coat sleeve. The inspector,
however compelled the gentleman to re
move the coat and shirt sleeves in order
that he might be satisfied about the gen
uineness of the vaccination, stating that
travellers had attempted to mislead him
by sewing two or three buttons in their

that quavered in three octayes:
"help, boysl He's drawn a naked

The officer turned to the reporters
boat and asked sternly: What were
you doing under the GGrnctPh
Even then, with those rifles in our
faces, we did not realize that we were
in any danger. On the other hand, W.
thought 1t was rather impudent of a
British officer TO be questioning us in

an avalanche of imprecations came
down upon the launch and her occu-
pants, and likewise included the
Garnet, her commander, the English
admiralty, the throne and the bound

temper and held their fire. The officer

The conclusion OF the matter was that
the officer accepted Boyton's statement
That he was swimming to Coney Island

him in case he become exhausted. The
rest is history. Everybody called Boy
